DOWN DEEP IN THE GARDEN

I love getting down deep in my garden
Always plenty to find to down there to do
All my vegitables and seeds to sow
And merigolds keep insects away too

I have my own secrets re propergation
How to have all down there simply thrive
Companion plants to plant closer still
And others to keep all down there alive

I use a lot of my mothers older ideas
still as good as away back then I say
All about herbs and endless other things
That are great and still work well today

What and where to grow things what not
Striking bulbs and different cuttings too
Whats best potted whats better in beds
Planted in old wheel barrows a good few

I love climbers but never near the house
They get into places and hard to prevent
Better on a trellis away in the garden
And once grown then all can be heaven sent

When using manures best only in dry form
Clumps of Daisies Red Pokers Or Cannas too
Great in damper corners to grow at leasure
Along pathways Pansies and Violet so blue

Nothing like a spot down the back with the lot
Gooseberries Rasberries well potted to grow
Right out of the way a Mulberry tree
Down deep in the garden peacef of mind to know
